"Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance." (Kahlil Gibran)

I love this website, and would especially like to thank all of you who visit the graves of my great-grandfather, Luigi Accursi; my cousins, Troy William Cole, Albert Tognarelli, and Bill Wessel; my chess partner, Peyton Russell "Russell" House; and my other good friend, Roberta Page; as well as the other people in my cemeteries for chess players, poets, crossword pioneers, social and environmental activists, veterans, and those who left this world too soon!

In addition to the memorials of my loved ones, I especially want to encourage people to visit my VETERANS MEMORIAL and cemetery for SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVISTS. All of thepeople "interred" in those cemeteries made major sacrifices so that the rest of us could live freely in a healthy environment; far too many of them made the ultimate sacrifice at heartbreakingly young ages. Sadly, few of them get very many flowers. Please show them some love and do what you can to ensure that their sacrifices will never be forgotten.

RE: Oscar Romero, Alex Mitchell, and Bill WesselDone the guy who sponsors Phoebe Jonchuck grave page is getting a petition to have the bridge were she was thrown off changed to her name. Google it or go to her page and contact him. Tomorrow is Jan Berry angel day he is in my entertainers list leave him a flower.

Thanks Kate, findagrave is a great website ! I'm really enjoying being a new member.

And I'm happy to honor Boris Nemtsov today. He was a very brave, honest and outspoken Man. It's so very sad that his life was taken away from him. The world will never be the same without him being here in the flesh. But his Spirit lives on.......

Thank you for remembering my sister Kathie on her birthday ~ she was and still is a very special lady and will always be loved and missed by our family. Your kindness is deeply appreciated, and will not be forgotten!

* Brother's Memorial *Hi again Kate, thanks for flowering my Brother's memorial a couple of hours ago. AJ got his memorial [mine-the ORIGINAL] back on my page at 5:00PM. Just wanted to let you know what was going on. Still don't know what happened, just glad to get him [back home] where he belongs.

Thank goodness we have AJ, he's helped me a lot with these difficult things over the years and I've been thru a few of them, NOT a pleasant experience.

Thinking about leaving findagrave for a while. I can't take all the harassment that's been going on, with so many of my friends, & then this happens to me. That's too much. [I erase my MSGS because of harassment-does not help that much-but I thought I knew the frenimies], But it seems the people that's being harassed are the ones LEAVING Find A Grave & the bad people are still here & will continue to harass other people. When a person has to change their User Name, re-do memorials, etc. [that's when something drastic needs to be done].

* * *Did U erase your MSG. from Cathy? All 3 Messages I received from her are gone, although I do erase my messages [due to harassment], I had not yet deleted my messages from anyone. You may delete this message!!!

My Brother's memorial disappeared from my Page on March 18th [after last message from Cathy] & I had to write AJ. The only memorial he found for my Brother was a DUPLICATE and not my ORIGINAL. I went thru a terrible ordeal with the DUPLICATE & it looks like it's starting all over again.
